The Sweet Life

What does that mean, Living the sweet life?
Traveling to exotic lands?
The house of your dreams?
Having all the money you could want to buy anything you want?
Or enough money to never go to work again?

Maybe it isn't any of that....maybe it is..
✴watching a mother bird feed her babies in the nest
✴seeing the sun shine through the leaves
✴hearing a child laugh
✴having homemade raspberry jam on your toasted bagel (what inspired this blog!)
✴"hearing" God's "still soft whisper"
📖 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 1 Kings 19:12

✴Having scripture speak right to your heart.
📖 My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
    And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.” Psalm 27:8

✴Seeing Him move every where.

In this day and age of excessiveness.... maybe the sweet life is the simpler things....the "stop and smell the roses" things..
The God things that surround us everyday.
Like the particles of dust floating in the air...that you only see in the shaft of light.
God is around us ALL THE TIME....moving, giving life and love...but we have to look through the Light that shines.
📖 Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John 8:12

That is IT!
THAT is the sweet life!
Basking in the Light of Jesus Christ and knowing....seeing God all around you, in every circumstance!

What does it mean to you?
📖 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
Sing the glory of his name
make his praise glorious.
Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing the praises of your name."
Come and see what God has done
his awesome deeds for mankind!
He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the waters on foot.
Come, let us rejoice in him.  Psalm 66:1-6

🙏 My prayer today is that you take some time to be with our Amazing God and let Him show you the sweet things in your life! 

📖 How sweet are your words to my taste,

    sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:10
